Surrender thoughts

SURRENDERING THOUGHTS.

DROPS from the OCEAN
57- By V Ganesan.
No " I" ..NO ME....NO MINE.

Devotee: How can the rebellious mind be brought under control?
Bhagavan: Either you seek its source so that it may disappear, or surrender so that it may be struck down. Thoughts are eliminated by the either holding on to the root-thought „I‟, or by surrendering one self unconditionally to the higher power. These are the only two ways for Self- realization.
Raise the question “Who am I?” inwardly, and reach the source of all thoughts – one‟s own Self – and be the Self which is the ultimate Truth. This is jnana marga, the path of wisdom. Or surrender unconditionally to the higher power. This is bhakti marga, the path of surrender. According to tradition, this is the accepted method of these two royal ways. Usually, it is taken for granted that the latter is the easier of the two paths. But is it so? This is a serious question every sincere seeker has to ponder over.
When thought, a vibratory movement, involves itself with happening, persons and things that have already taken place, it is called the past or memory. Based on that acquired knowledge, when thoughts project themselves through desires and plans to be fulfilled, it is called the future. In short, both past and future are merely thoughts, unreal and non-existent. This constant movement from the past to the future, creates an illusion as if it takes place in the present. If pointed attention is paid to the present, we will realize that no movement at all takes place in the NOW!
To be in the NOW, actually and factually, is to not manufacture thoughts of the past and future. This means we should remain without any form of mental, vibratory movement. Vibratory movements are noises echoed in the mind. The present, the NOW, is total stillness and silence.
Giving up thoughts of the past and future is surrender. To remain in the NOW is thus, true surrender.Burning off of all movements towards the past and the future, in the flame of the  motionless NOW, can take place only in the silence of the Self. The silence of the Self, absorbing the noises of the mind into its silence, is surrender.
Surrender is the supreme state where past and future, the two unreal states, dissolve into the one totality.Jnana marga, the path of wisdom, is where there is no „I‟. Bhakti marga, the path of surrender, is where there is no „me‟ and „mine‟.
